Melted coal slag arises during the generation of electricity from coal. The liquid fire proof components of the coal are cooling down in a water bath. The solidified liquids are broken, dried and classified into several granulations.

 

Characteristics:

  • no silicosis danger, because there is no free crystalline silica acid
  • no carcinogenic or toxic components
  • no water-soluble components
  • no waters or air pollution
  • no subsequent changes of the sand-blasting products

 

Application range:

  • Pretreating concrete surfaces before restoring
  • Derusting steel by means of compressed air jet technology
  • Surface preparation (removal of paint and rust)
  • Polishing, cleaning and grinding
